Speaker 1: Yo Bootleg cav podcast, Yes on the Road with Jelly Roll.
Speaker 2: Baby The Road with the Role Dude.
Speaker 1: First of all, Man, congratulations a new album. I text
Speaker 1: you this, but I truly feel I know it's, you know,
Speaker 1: coming from the hip hop side of things to say classic.
Speaker 1: When I hear a project a couple of times straight through,
Speaker 1: I feel like this is a classic body of work.
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back at this.
Speaker 2: I'm super proud of it.
Speaker 1: Dude.
Speaker 2: It's the most time I've ever spent on a single
Speaker 2: body of.
Speaker 1: Work and it's twenty eight songs, but it's.
Speaker 2: A lot of meat. Dude. I wrote like one hundred
Speaker 2: and fifty, one hundred and sixty or something.
Speaker 1: It's so crazy because even if like I go back
Speaker 1: to like your old school shit, like your songwriting to
Speaker 1: me has always been pretty superior in terms of like
Speaker 1: your ability to write certain hooks, like you know, thinking
Speaker 1: back to like Sunday Morning or smoking section. But it
Speaker 1: feels like the song writing has just like it's like
Speaker 1: it's hit its peak. Like I feel like you're in
Speaker 1: your prime with the pen right now.
Speaker 3: I think I'm getting close. I don't think I'm there yet.
Speaker 3: I think i'm because I'm starting to like learn more
Speaker 3: about music too. Yeah, So the more I understand how
Speaker 3: the top line, like the lyrics side of what I
Speaker 3: do works with the music side of what's happening under it,
Speaker 3: the more dangerous I'm getting with understanding how this all
Speaker 3: works together.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting too because like I think of a song, like,
Speaker 1: first of all, you kicked the album off with winning streak,
Speaker 1: which is crazy because I grew up going to NA
Speaker 1: and AA meetings. My uncle had a drug rehab and
Speaker 1: he is recovering addict. My dad's a recovering addict. So
Speaker 1: I some my summer job used to be to sit
Speaker 1: in the back of those meetings. Wow, as like a
Speaker 1: fourteen or fifteen year old wow, collect people's stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: like because it was it was a part of like
Speaker 1: a people who are on probation. You know.
Speaker 3: Did you understand at that age how impactful what was
Speaker 3: happening in front of you was?
Speaker 2: Or no?
Speaker 1: I think so, man, because you would just see people
Speaker 1: break down and like, I know, you know, I was like,
Speaker 1: I never have touched any like I would say hard. Oh,
Speaker 1: I've dounch rooms and weed and you know, a little
Speaker 1: bit of molly but I've never like putting none up
Speaker 1: my nose and shit because of like the I've seen
Speaker 1: it with my own eyes, Like right, you know, you.
Speaker 3: Know the dangers of you got to see it. It's
Speaker 3: absolute worse. It's crazy that you got to see the
Speaker 3: impact and understood the impact at that age too, because
Speaker 3: something what's happened in those rooms, it's magical at times. Man,
Speaker 3: it's also hilarious. I've heard some of the funniest stories
Speaker 3: of my life ever in those rooms.
Speaker 1: How because I heard you talk about it a little
Speaker 1: bit on Joe, But like, how often do you try
Speaker 1: to get into a meeting and like, at this point
Speaker 1: your jelly roll, So I can only imagine you walking
Speaker 1: into a meeting.
Speaker 3: Nah, Man, That's kind of one of the cool things
Speaker 3: about going to a meeting is they take the anonymous
Speaker 3: side of that really serious. So that's why I don't
Speaker 3: That's why I haven't talked a lot about it, because
Speaker 3: I don't know how much they would want me sharing
Speaker 3: what happens in those rooms or not. Dude, you know,
Speaker 3: but it's just so magical. But uh, yeah, man, that's
Speaker 3: the cool thing is that never bothered at all, man, Yeah,
Speaker 3: never bothered at all anytime you go, man, just you know,
Speaker 3: you're just another addict or just another alcoholic to them.
Speaker 2: That's how they look at you.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 4: It just really humiliation, really this thing of humiliation that
Speaker 4: happens in there in a way of like humbling, like
Speaker 4: in a good way of like, no matter how great
Speaker 4: we're doing today, we always reduce ourselves to know that
Speaker 4: we're still that addict at heart, so we could that
Speaker 4: any moment, this thing could go left for us, and
Speaker 4: it is what keeps people in constant gratitude.
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, man, but to answer.
Speaker 3: Your question, because I hate avoiding questions as much as
Speaker 3: I can go right, you know these days a few
Speaker 3: a year, you know what I mean, ten a year, maybe.
Speaker 1: What has there been, like any specific feedback you've gotten
Speaker 1: from that song and just being like wow, someone because
Speaker 1: I can't recall someone who's tackled that experience on a record,
Speaker 1: let alone kicking kicking off an album.
Speaker 2: You know, yeah, it's been cool, man. I haven't I
Speaker 2: haven't got I've been sub dude. I hate to admit this.
Speaker 3: I've been so in the vortex of this thing right here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hadn't.
Speaker 2: Even just today took the time to look at like critical.
Speaker 1: Reviews of my album?
Speaker 2: You know what I mean about that?
Speaker 3: No, not at all, but it just popped up on
Speaker 3: my feed and I actually had time today to entertain it.
Speaker 2: I didn't go search for it.
Speaker 3: I just you know, it's like it's there and it's
Speaker 3: album review and then you hit one and you know
Speaker 3: how news feeds doing the Google, it just immediately gives
Speaker 3: you the role and you're like, well, let me just
Speaker 3: what did Pitchfork say?
Speaker 2: What did Browne? So?
Speaker 3: You know, and more than anything, it's not that I
Speaker 3: care about it. I'm just still so new to this.
Speaker 3: I care that they cared, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you shop on the album.
Speaker 2: The fact that you took the time to review a
Speaker 2: twenty eight song album that I put out, it's still
Speaker 2: fucking insane to me. Did people care enough about what
Speaker 2: I'm doing? You know? Yo?
Speaker 1: Uh if by the time this comes out.
Speaker 2: Think about that somebody got paid.
Speaker 1: To listen to your music and give them like a.
Speaker 2: Real deal, like well thought out thought like dude, thank you.
Speaker 2: I'm honored.
Speaker 1: No, Like, I mean shit, growing up like and the
Speaker 1: source was such a big deal when you like going
Speaker 1: to look at the mics and but but again, it'd
Speaker 1: be like just having people give a fuck from Pitchfork
Speaker 1: or you know, if someone talked to you fifteen years ago,
Speaker 1: ten years ago, shit, eight years ago.
Speaker 3: One hunt, I would just be I would be so
Speaker 3: excited that the review could have just been a shit
Speaker 3: on me. And I've been like I'm getting reviewed, and
Speaker 3: that's still how I feel now. So yeah, but I
Speaker 3: just now I'm starting to see like the effects of
Speaker 3: the music that's happened even past yesterday. I kind of
Speaker 3: missed how big that moment was on TikTok. For the
Speaker 3: first few days of like twelve fifteen, twenty thousand women
Speaker 3: just sharing their story was crazy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know, it's it's crazy too because you the
Speaker 1: success of that moment on TikTok is what kind of
Speaker 1: it sped up you dropping the deluxe?
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3: We planned to drop the Deluxe, but it was like,
Speaker 3: I was gonna wait a few days or maybe even
Speaker 3: a week and see if I needed to come back around.
Speaker 3: And I was kind of inspired by post Malone because
Speaker 3: remember he dropped F one trillion and it had all
Speaker 3: these features, and then he dropped like seven songs called
Speaker 3: the Long Bed Edition right after with seven songs that.
Speaker 1: Were so low.
Speaker 2: I had these five like fire features come in the
Speaker 2: bottom of the night.
Speaker 3: In it, like people showed up for me, like Halsey,
Speaker 3: Russ Keith, Urban Ernest, like all those features showed up
Speaker 3: with for me, like within a week of releasing.
Speaker 1: Crazy now because I remember hearing you working on some
Speaker 1: of these records, like at the beginning of the tour,
Speaker 1: just in a room backstage.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like these we're still writing Beautifully Broken on
Speaker 3: the Beautifully Broken tour.
Speaker 2: I never thought of it that way. Cam. That's right,
Speaker 2: that's true.
Speaker 1: That's a great way to put it.
Speaker 2: That's why you're interview.
Speaker 1: If you're watching this, there's a good chance by the
Speaker 1: time this is released, that you had the number one album,
Speaker 1: your first number one album.
Speaker 2: Yes, it was either me or Rod Wave and it's
Speaker 2: the battle is more than me and I'm happy for him.
Speaker 1: But it's crazy to think how far you've come.
Speaker 2: Bro.
Speaker 1: Like you know, I always say when I when I
Speaker 1: think of music, you are an anomaly in terms of
Speaker 1: your career path, Like this doesn't happen, I don't know
Speaker 1: if it will ever happen again. I think that You've
Speaker 1: always heard this from when you know, however many fifty
Speaker 1: to one hundred or three or four hundred people cedars
Speaker 1: you were doing. But I feel like what's always been
Speaker 1: synonymous with you is when people meet you, they love
Speaker 1: you right right, And I feel like that's just happening
Speaker 1: now on a world worldly stage. Yes, and just talk
Speaker 1: like how big of a deal is that?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: Because the last album was number five?
Speaker 2: Right? Yeah? I think last album was five, And I
Speaker 2: was blown away that we were in that car. That's
Speaker 2: what I was talking to Joe about. And I love
Speaker 2: Joe's perspective.
Speaker 3: I needed it this week, Yeah, album week when Joe's like,
Speaker 3: don't worry about a number one out, dude, worry about
Speaker 3: being jelly roll man. I'll stay at the sun. I've
Speaker 3: got that'll stick with me forever. But for me, it's
Speaker 3: still just like I guess, just.
Speaker 2: Being in the conversations are still so new to me.
Speaker 3: Like when I read the first time that charge hits whatever,
Speaker 3: David double drops and it goes jelly rolling rodwave with
Speaker 3: an X amount of thousands of each other for what
Speaker 3: could be first week number one, and.
Speaker 2: I'm a like enormous road wave man.
Speaker 3: He's like a huge rod like and as an artist,
Speaker 3: as a human, like how he's handled himself in critical
Speaker 3: appeal and the songs and just what he stands for.
Speaker 3: And I feel like we're singing the exact same song,
Speaker 3: just over two different beds.
Speaker 2: Of music, right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: You know it's a It's like I would say that
Speaker 3: we're in the same house, just you know, we're in
Speaker 3: different rooms, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: That's what's happening right with Jelly Rolling rod Wave anyway.
Speaker 3: So just even being that kind of conversation with him
Speaker 3: or Charlie XCX and like these like these.
Speaker 2: Are pop stars to me.
Speaker 1: Hey, you know this, you're a fucking pop star.
Speaker 2: That's crazy talk. That's that's crazy weep.
Speaker 1: It's funny. Every time we see each other after some time,
Speaker 1: we'll be like, Yo, it's getting weird, ain't it.
Speaker 3: It's getting weird, and it's getting weird. I'll admit that
Speaker 3: to you though on and off camera. It's getting weird,
Speaker 3: but like in a good way.
Speaker 1: But it's but dude, it's like if if I'm watching
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and you're in a commercial, and then
Speaker 1: I'm watching Summer Slam and you're fucking by the way
Speaker 1: pulling off what what an amazing choke slamb.
Speaker 2: Listen it was I probably up there, Listen.
Speaker 3: I hate to say this. I'll get in trouble for
Speaker 3: just saying this. I've had one of the best years ever.
Speaker 3: If I have a number one album this week, I've
Speaker 3: had a number one album Saturday Night Live. I mean,
Speaker 3: I was invited to the Grammys for the first time
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 2: This is all this year and I'm turning forty forty.
Speaker 3: I want to be forty this year, and I can
Speaker 3: still tell you that I think Summer slim is probably
Speaker 3: the coolest moment of the year.
Speaker 1: Oh for sure.
Speaker 2: It's just hard to beat. Dude. It's like the listen,
Speaker 2: I got slimmed. That's up there.
Speaker 1: That was cool.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: But for me, these were big moments for me because
Speaker 3: I've talked about this a little bit, but not the
Speaker 3: way I really want to. It's like this was like
Speaker 3: inner child moments for me, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Like as a kid who grew up in the system,
Speaker 3: and everybody knows my story. They're exhausted here and I
Speaker 3: don't talk about it no more neither, But just knowing
Speaker 3: where I'm from, I was by by some decisions I made, had.
Speaker 2: To grow up a little earlier than most people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so because of that, I didn't you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Like, you bring me back and slim me,
Speaker 3: you circle back around and I get to choke slam
Speaker 3: somebody and sugget to listen, and they brought me in
Speaker 3: full face, just feeling off, just doing what they do best,
Speaker 3: just gracing them, just gracing and Austin just wiling people up.
Speaker 3: And I get to come in with a chair shot
Speaker 3: and then listen, here's the shoot on and I shot on.
Speaker 3: I shot on a little bit with Logan, but here's
Speaker 3: a real shoot on this. To giv Austin theory is
Speaker 3: a hero in this. Grayson's a hero in this. MI
Speaker 3: is our truth, dude, our truth. Is one of the
Speaker 3: best humans on earth I've heard, one of the sweetest,
Speaker 3: most down to earth.
Speaker 2: What can I do to help you? Loving dudes? You
Speaker 2: will ever meet.
Speaker 3: His His character where he confuses stuff is so hilarious.
Speaker 3: But like if that wasn't his character, that's a piece
Speaker 3: of his soul anyways, Like just that lighthearted.
Speaker 2: Spiritedness of who he is. And I realized really early
Speaker 2: when I was working with all of these dudes that
Speaker 2: they were doing everything they could to make me look
Speaker 2: as good as I could.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that whole jealous a little spoof he had. It
Speaker 1: kind of sets you up, like like that first appearance
Speaker 1: you did and he had the jelly.
Speaker 2: It's so good, dude, It's like it was cool man.
Speaker 3: So like that watching them rally and when you realize that,
Speaker 3: it gives you a whole new respect for wrestling. I
Speaker 3: always say it to guys when they do when like, uh,
Speaker 3: I tell Eric Church or guys. They don't know the
Speaker 3: language sometimes, but I'm like man in the wrestling world
Speaker 3: post Malone, when he put me on his album, I
Speaker 3: was like, Yo, this is called giving me the rub,
Speaker 3: Like you're pulling me.
Speaker 2: Over right now. Yeah you know what I mean over
Speaker 2: putting me over, dude. It's like you're giving me the
Speaker 2: rub right now.
Speaker 3: And I realized that that's why that business has stayed
Speaker 3: big for so many years. I wish music would steal
Speaker 3: that from them, the idea of constantly trying to pull people,
Speaker 3: get people, help put people, constantly trying to put people over,
Speaker 3: constantly trying to give people the rub, like watching.
Speaker 1: I think you know, I think Drake did that for
Speaker 1: a long time, you know.
Speaker 3: Because even in Austin's shoes, his idea was like, I know,
Speaker 3: I'm taking a bump here and listen, Austin is a
Speaker 3: world class wrestler. He has no business allowing an overweight
Speaker 3: musician choke slamming him on SummerSlam, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: But he's but it's in his mind.
Speaker 3: It's like, no, this is what's best for all of
Speaker 3: us in this moment, because if we all do this right,
Speaker 3: this clip could be big for all of us. This
Speaker 3: could be big for the entire wrestling world. This could
Speaker 3: be new eyeballs on wrestling. This could like this is
Speaker 3: how they think of every decision they make back in
Speaker 3: those locker rooms, and it's I admire it, dude, and
Speaker 3: thank you for letting me come on here and get
Speaker 3: to shoot on that a little more because it's like I'm.
Speaker 2: Now I'm also obsessed. I am ready in the backyard.
Speaker 1: Rumble in Tampa.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I was just there hanging. Yeah, you was with your son. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we were just there on some like whatever stuff.
Speaker 2: That's yo.
Speaker 1: It's interesting to see.
Speaker 3: That's something else I'm proud of. I've never been worked
Speaker 3: into the show for any reason. But being a fan
Speaker 3: of the show right because you're just there exactly. It
Speaker 3: was never like a media thing or like business is
Speaker 3: people together. This was real deal, Like, Hey, I'm coming
Speaker 3: to Monday night Raw. Anyways, how early am I allowed
Speaker 3: to get there?
Speaker 1: And who can I meet?
Speaker 2: And then when I'm.
Speaker 3: There and they see that I'm such a fan, they're like, man,
Speaker 3: we should work this dude in the show. Randy's the
Speaker 3: home he sodom. I just met him, but he's just
Speaker 3: immediately was like, oh this is I love this. Let's
Speaker 3: do this, you know what I mean. He immediately was
Speaker 3: like drawing into bringing me into the storyline with him,
Speaker 3: which was super super cool because he's seen that I
Speaker 3: was a fan too, and he told me that afterwards.
Speaker 3: Randy was like, uh, He's like, it's a lot of
Speaker 3: people to come through here that kind of know what
Speaker 3: we're doing, but they're not necessarily as He's like, man,
Speaker 3: just I admire the grace you showed back here, Like
Speaker 3: the respect. I mean, you know, I walk around that
Speaker 3: think and I had off like yo, I have a
Speaker 3: lot of respect for what they do back there.
Speaker 2: Man, huge fucking wrestling fan, kah, huge wrestling fan.
Speaker 1: Talk to me about this moment we're in where there's
Speaker 1: a lot of uh cross genre happening in the country direction,
Speaker 1: And I feel like you're kind of the first person
Speaker 1: that I that did it in a serious way. But
Speaker 1: but but you kind of did it in a way
Speaker 1: that was a lot a lot different than some of
Speaker 1: the artists will see it now, Like you kind of
Speaker 1: did it. You're an underground artist initially, right, like, and
Speaker 1: then doing country was always something that was natural to you,
Speaker 1: but it's what changed your life.
Speaker 2: Right do you feel like the.
Speaker 1: Trend of the genre of country music is being like
Speaker 1: it feels like everyone's doing country. It just kind and
Speaker 1: like not necessarily from a place of like even being
Speaker 1: a fan of the music, just it just feels like
Speaker 1: it's the thing to do, Like, like from your perspective
Speaker 1: as kind of being the first guy to kind of
Speaker 1: people would look at you as a rapper initially right
Speaker 1: to have all this success, Like from how you see it,
Speaker 1: how do you how do you see what's going on
Speaker 1: right now with everybody kind of flocking to the genre.
Speaker 2: I think it's country music finally getting's turn.
Speaker 3: Yeah, my perspective, it is like we've actually got to
Speaker 3: watch every other genre get its turn on critical mass,
Speaker 3: but never Country. There would be artists here and there
Speaker 3: that would get big enough that, like, you know, country
Speaker 3: has always been represented in critical masks, with the Grammys, Amas, VMA's,
Speaker 3: you know, all these different facets. But it's I think
Speaker 3: it's just like the natural evolution of like it was
Speaker 3: just kind of Country's turn. Finally, it was a great
Speaker 3: time to be there. I think I have. I think
Speaker 3: that the only thing I have to do with that
Speaker 3: is luck of just waiting out long enough to be around,
Speaker 3: long enough to be there, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's kind of the John Cena story. The Seeing Punk
Speaker 3: stories are kind of John Cena's just like it was
Speaker 3: just he was just consistently there. You just always show
Speaker 3: up and you're always there. It's like all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you can you can eventually become the guys the last.
Speaker 1: I feel like you gave Post the rub.
Speaker 2: No Posts gave me the use. Well listen, Post is Post,
Speaker 2: but I.
Speaker 1: Feel like in this world like it's you giving him
Speaker 1: the run.
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Well it's a weird thing, man. It's like
Speaker 2: Post and Beyonce.
Speaker 3: What they did was just bringing a bigger spotlight to
Speaker 3: what was already overwhelmingly like if country couldn't have got
Speaker 3: any bigger, the two of the five biggest pop stars
Speaker 3: on Earth was like, Hey, we're gonna go do country
Speaker 3: albums this year.
Speaker 2: It's like it couldn't.
Speaker 3: Man, I sound silly when I talk like this, but
Speaker 3: I really think when you look back at this ten
Speaker 3: years from now, twenty years from now, it's going to
Speaker 3: just continue to stand the test of time more and more.
Speaker 3: Like when you look back, we're talking about it in
Speaker 3: real time and it's kind of blowing our mind. But
Speaker 3: when they really look at this decade and what happened
Speaker 3: with country music, and they're just like yeah, and Post
Speaker 3: Malone dropped one of the biggest albums of the year
Speaker 3: that year, and Beyonce it was a great album. Beyonce
Speaker 3: got in the genre.
Speaker 1: And just by the way, the biggest song of the
Speaker 1: year is the country song bar.
Speaker 3: Song, Yeah, well two years in a row now last
Speaker 3: night was last year. The second biggest song of this
Speaker 3: year was a Morgan Waham song.
Speaker 2: Crazy Years in a Row. Speaking of the Bar song
Speaker 2: boy shameless.
Speaker 1: Plug here Shaboozy's coming on tour.

Speaker 3: her that is rare in the music business, like this,
Speaker 3: real genuine, like every step forward for her as a win,
Speaker 3: and she is just in the most graceful place. You
Speaker 3: can almost tell. She's to the point now where even
Speaker 3: the bullshit don't get to her no more. She don't
Speaker 3: get wrapped up and none of that. She is just complete.
Speaker 3: She is floating and you can feel that when you're around.
Speaker 2: Her, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: It's like she just gives off this genuine gratitude and
Speaker 3: the music is fucking incredible.
Speaker 2: No, she's I just thought, so here's the story. I should.
Speaker 2: I should. I'll tell you the story.
Speaker 3: Me and Glowyd when we met, we immediately because immediately
Speaker 3: people in her management camp, you know my relationship with
Speaker 3: Memphis for all these years, we all kind of know
Speaker 3: each other.
Speaker 2: It's two degrees of separation where that is.
Speaker 3: Anyway, So somebody hit me and me like, yo, I'm
Speaker 3: such a such you remember back then I'm working with Glowe.
Speaker 3: I want to get yall together, put us on a
Speaker 3: text thread and U Every time either one of us
Speaker 3: have been in La. We've hit the other one and
Speaker 3: missed each other, but like a couple of days so
Speaker 3: we were trying to do something anyways. It was like
Speaker 3: if I look at our text thread right now, it's
Speaker 3: a constant like I'm in La.
Speaker 2: Where are you at?
Speaker 3: When you hear and it's like a day later she'll
Speaker 3: be like, ah, I'll be there Friday, and I'm like
Speaker 3: I'm gone, yeah, Or it's like her being like, Yo,
Speaker 3: I'm in La.
Speaker 2: Where are you at? Swing By? You know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So it's like we I know, we like each other
Speaker 3: and we want to work together and she knows I'm
Speaker 3: a huge fan, and uh, it's been really cool man.
Speaker 2: I love that she was like, we got to do
Speaker 2: this for Tennessee. I've me and my heart smile.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy, dude. The Memphis, whole Memphis thing is
Speaker 1: just crazy. You know, Rest in Peace, Golf, you know
Speaker 1: that whole case. Some of the details that's getting interesting,
Speaker 1: how I mean it's like for you, like you're such
Speaker 1: a fan of just everything, Like you know, I kind
Speaker 1: of look at you as like, let's talk about.
Speaker 3: The doll trail for two seconds. I know you don't
Speaker 3: want me to get hung up. Here because you're my friend.
Speaker 3: Don't want me to get in trouble. But all I
Speaker 3: want to say about the Doll trail is I was
Speaker 3: blown away that the doph trial opened and closed open
Speaker 3: on a Monday, closed on a Friday, and had a
Speaker 3: deliberated jury.
Speaker 2: Return a verdict back in five days. And we have
Speaker 2: been watching.
Speaker 3: Jeffrey sit down in the the Cave County jail for years.
Speaker 3: It is, man, I don't like to get in the
Speaker 3: middle of stuff, and some of the stuff that he
Speaker 3: was accused of is extremely heinous and if it's true,
Speaker 3: he should be held accountable like any other criminal. But man,
Speaker 3: it just seems like one of the greatest injustices I've
Speaker 3: ever seen happening down there, man.
Speaker 2: And it's getting to the point.
Speaker 3: Man, I don't keV. I would tell you something, keV.
Speaker 3: I don't talk about this much, Bubba. But there's something
Speaker 3: I'm into. When I'm writing music, I don't listen to music,
Speaker 3: so I listened to podcasts and it's somewhere between comedy
Speaker 3: and true crime. And my preference of keeping up with
Speaker 3: true crime isn't like the eerie stuff. I like watching
Speaker 3: Law and Crime with Jesse on YouTube or familiar with
Speaker 3: his channel, or I watched Bruce Rivers. I watch, like,
Speaker 3: I got a few of these different kind of lawyer
Speaker 3: things that I'll watch, these kind of lawyer things that
Speaker 3: I'll go and then if I'm really interested in what
Speaker 3: Jesse Webber's talking about, I'll just go watch that day
Speaker 3: of the trial. I get that nerded out about like
Speaker 3: active trials when they're happening. I think it's because my
Speaker 3: mama used to watch them. She obsessed about them.
Speaker 2: We were I've never talked about Yeah, I've never talked
Speaker 2: about this one. What do you think?
Speaker 1: What do you think about the thug thing? Because it
Speaker 1: feels to me as if it's gonna get thrown out
Speaker 1: at least it and then he's.
Speaker 3: I think they're gonna I think they're just if it
Speaker 3: doesn't get thrown out, then it actually goes in there,
Speaker 3: they'll either find him guilty or the juri or hang.
Speaker 3: But the problem becomes I think that I think that
Speaker 3: he's gonna end up getting out of the case, and
Speaker 3: I think he's going to have the biggest class action
Speaker 3: lawsuit against the Cab County and American history. You know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Because it's one hundred and twenty some
Speaker 3: people on that case. I think the da overshot. I
Speaker 3: think that she was I don't know what she was thinking.
Speaker 3: I think she made too. She made a mountain out
Speaker 3: of a mole hill. And there was some really really
Speaker 3: really bad stuff that happened. There were bodies involved, There
Speaker 3: was murders, murder for higher plots.
Speaker 2: I mean it.
Speaker 3: It had all the makings of what looked like it
Speaker 3: should be a big thing.
Speaker 2: My man, Hey, chow chy Bobby, we have we have
Speaker 2: three dogs, Tim, will you take them out? Tim? Yeah? Hey,
Speaker 2: what about scary gat mad today?
Speaker 1: Because you think at that dog?
Speaker 2: Why am I not going to l as like? Because
Speaker 2: you got to watch the dogs. He did bring it down.
Speaker 2: It was like he brought a dog, so you got
Speaker 2: to stay back with your dog. The mean greets seemed
Speaker 2: to go quick. Huh yeah, fifteen twenty. It felt great.
Speaker 1: Kiss Cameron, Kiss, Shots to the Bunny. A pod swap
Speaker 1: is coming soon, the pop swap, the pods swap. I
Speaker 1: love that.
Speaker 2: My wife immediately made a sexual cox swah.
Speaker 1: She said, are we cock swapping? What does that mean?
Speaker 2: Man? I love sex? Why am I? Yeah?
Speaker 1: It is interesting it's interesting too, because like, do you
Speaker 1: ever get into these. I find myself sometimes watching them,
Speaker 1: but it's it's a little different because I know, I
Speaker 1: know like a lot of these guys, so I try
Speaker 1: not to. But like the like Hood documentaries that they
Speaker 1: be putting out, where they like they'll tackle like the
Speaker 1: Jacksonville hip hop scene, or how accurate.
Speaker 2: Do you think some of that stuff is?
Speaker 3: Who in that scene do you think actually does there?
Speaker 3: Takes their time against their information.
Speaker 1: That's the problem. I just had this conversation.
Speaker 2: I will tell you who gets their paper who gets
Speaker 2: the paperwork right. Jake gets the paperwork right. But I
Speaker 2: have a lot of respect for him. He takes the
Speaker 2: time to get it right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I don't know if I've ever heard him
Speaker 1: be wrong. And if he feels like the a guy
Speaker 1: that would have the humility to be like this, this
Speaker 1: was no.
Speaker 2: I think he jump on the grenade. If he was
Speaker 2: really wrong, he strikes music of would immediately be like
Speaker 2: those documents, you think.
Speaker 1: He's I got no.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: My old thing is.
Speaker 2: You're in a tight spot here. You can't say you think.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I think that when you're I just had
Speaker 1: this conversation. Think about this, like, we're creating a culture
Speaker 1: of hip hop fans who don't look at hip hop
Speaker 1: artists people. They look at them as criminal interests on
Speaker 1: their favorite YouTube channel. Overall, what they're doing is they're
Speaker 1: not even into the music. Like, let's be honest, right,
Speaker 1: like a lot of the stories the music. Yeah, So
Speaker 1: it's like when someone like Folio, you know, gets murdered,
Speaker 1: going and looking at the comments on some of these
Speaker 1: posts are like it's like there's just no humanity like
Speaker 1: with some of these fans, they just don't give a fuck.
Speaker 1: And so like with Chapel of Ross, like you know,
Speaker 1: I know he made like a three and a half
Speaker 1: half hour long King Vaughan hip hop's first serial killer video.
Speaker 1: I mean, I just if you can't prove that, that's
Speaker 1: a pretty crazy thing to put on someone who's dead, right,
Speaker 1: you know. So I don't know, man, I think that
Speaker 1: you know, there a lot of that stuff is entertaining,
Speaker 1: Like I think Trapple of Ross does a good job
Speaker 1: of putting together entertaining content.
Speaker 3: Now my wonder becomes is from a I think about
Speaker 3: it as journalism, is that who is actually doing the
Speaker 3: research to get it right? And it makes you want
Speaker 3: and I don't know, I've watched some of Trapleo, of
Speaker 3: Ross's stuff.
Speaker 1: He's got entertaining stuff for sure.
Speaker 3: It sucks, man, because I'm such a hip hop fan
Speaker 3: to watch that part of hip hop. You know, you
Speaker 3: gotta think in our era when Tupac got killed, there
Speaker 3: wasn't a bigger news story in the world.
Speaker 2: When Master J you can go on.
Speaker 1: YouTube and watch. I mean, if Tupac died today, you know,
Speaker 1: there'd be so much content to digest about it.
Speaker 2: For sure, it probably his murder probably would have gotten solved.
Speaker 3: No, they would have filmed it all the way to
Speaker 3: where it happened. They've been able to track back every.
Speaker 2: Video taken of that bends coming down the strip, or
Speaker 2: people waving at each other. All that stuff would have
Speaker 2: been able to happen in those moments.
Speaker 1: Talk to me, man, you know we haven't really talked
Speaker 1: about this. I've heard you talk about it, but I
Speaker 1: know how how much of a big deal it is
Speaker 1: to even have like someone like Eminemic knowledge who the
Speaker 1: fuck you are, but to have Eminem sample your song
Speaker 1: and to be able to perform with him, to be
Speaker 1: able to just I mean, you've been performing, uh loose
Speaker 1: yourself on stage, yeah.
Speaker 2: For years and years and uh you know.
Speaker 1: Can you Like I said, I know, I know you've
Speaker 1: talked about it a lot, but I just feel like
Speaker 1: it's such a you know, I just know how big
Speaker 1: of a deal that was for you, man, So you know,
Speaker 1: just yet like it's.
Speaker 2: Getting weird weird, No, dude, Marshall's the who's the goat.
Speaker 2: Anybody who says Eminem is.
Speaker 3: Not the greatest rapper ever, it's just lie. Just you know,
Speaker 3: they're they're allowing other factors.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if we're talking about the talent of.
Speaker 3: Rapping, yes, I don't I would argue to say that,
Speaker 3: A man, I don't know. There's a lot of we'll
Speaker 3: never see nobody better. I think there will be. I
Speaker 3: don't think that I'll live long enough.
Speaker 2: To see it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think I know what I think lyrically, Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think, you know, I think I think we've we've
Speaker 5: had we've I always say, we're in the middle of
Speaker 5: this era of Kendrick Lamar and it's almost like watching
Speaker 5: Steph Curry where it's like, well, we just.
Speaker 1: Kind of take advantage of Steph Curry and Lebron's on TV,
Speaker 1: but like we we appreciate we lived through the Eminem
Speaker 1: thing and we're still here, so we knew what it
Speaker 1: was like. But I think during that era we weren't.
Speaker 1: We didn't look at Eminem as the greatest of all time.
Speaker 1: We just loved I.
Speaker 2: Don't know the Kendrick moment. I don't know.
Speaker 3: Kendrick's got a unique thing that's happening right now. That's
Speaker 3: very Eminemish. As far as that dude's been putting out
Speaker 3: hits a long time.
Speaker 1: Now, for sure, it's been ten years.
Speaker 3: He's a decade into putting out real, absolute solified bangers.
Speaker 3: Eminem had a decade like that. I think that his
Speaker 3: follow up to Not Like Us will be one of
Speaker 3: the most important bodies of work. Whatever he does will
Speaker 3: be super super important.
Speaker 2: What is it? Also takes a lot of time off right,
Speaker 2: he has big drops and big.
Speaker 1: It takes time. Yeah, what is what is that like?
Speaker 1: First initial? Is it a text? Is it a call
Speaker 1: where you find out that a save me remix is
Speaker 1: on the eminem out?
Speaker 2: It's Paul Rosenberg. It's Paul Paul Rosenberg. Man, Paul Rosenberg
Speaker 2: is the dude. So that's ms longtime manager. Anybody watching
Speaker 2: that doesn't know, absolutely legend been with him day one,
Speaker 2: built the entire business. Around.
Speaker 3: It just one of the He'll go down as one
Speaker 3: of the greatest ever, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And him and my manager John and nearly been friends
Speaker 3: since they did Renegade together back, so they've been friends for.
Speaker 2: All this time. I didn't know I was on M's
Speaker 2: even radar.
Speaker 3: I just assumed, you know that if I had a
Speaker 3: chance to be on his radar would have been a
Speaker 3: decade ago, whenever the Timnute Freestyle might have called it,
Speaker 3: you know. But apparently he dug the record, and when
Speaker 3: they initially called, they just said send it with no context.
Speaker 3: And for this, fum, I don't need any context.
Speaker 2: You tell me.
Speaker 3: Anyone wants something, send them, send them, Send the vocals
Speaker 3: we didn't use. He wants to go recop, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean, Like send him everything.
Speaker 2: Uh, And you know how rap is.
Speaker 3: I thought he was gonna send me a verse and
Speaker 3: I was just gonna have a remix of my phone,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like this, let me let me slide on. Man.
Speaker 2: I just kind of you know the role, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: get a Rul's gonna throw you one, you know him, Drake.
Speaker 2: They've kind of waned these I've watched these guys do
Speaker 2: it over the years.
Speaker 3: It's like randomly, just throw somebody one, and I was like,
Speaker 3: I might be finn to get one, and were turned
Speaker 3: out even cooler than getting one. It turned out that
Speaker 3: end up being for his album. Now, I didn't I
Speaker 3: didn't hear much about it for a year or eight
Speaker 3: months or whatever.
Speaker 2: It was a long period of time.
Speaker 3: I'm not good at judging time right now, because I
Speaker 3: think I started this tour eight months ago and it
Speaker 3: was six weeks ago. I don't know, I'm lost, but
Speaker 3: it was definitely enough time that I had gotten sad.
Speaker 3: That's the best way to put it. It was long enough
Speaker 3: that I had come to the conclusion it wasn't gonna happen.
Speaker 2: And then John calls me.
Speaker 3: He's like, EM's, EM's gonna put this on his record,
Speaker 3: Like for sure, because when I seen Houdini drop, I
Speaker 3: was like maybe maybe, I was like, he might be
Speaker 3: you know this, this could be real, right, because my
Speaker 3: fear was he just didn't drop at all. But I
Speaker 3: had a feeling that it was gonna happen, and it did.
Speaker 3: Man doing the video with him, he's been nothing but
Speaker 3: kind man, Yeah, nothing but kind. Yeah, funny, genuine all
Speaker 3: that stuff.
Speaker 1: How hard is it for you with your come up?
Speaker 1: I always wonder this because I know that we are
Speaker 1: in a very finicky industry and you've been a part
Speaker 1: of this industry long before you household name. But to
Speaker 1: have the success you've had over the last couple of
Speaker 1: years and to probably have new interactions with people that
Speaker 1: maybe didn't reply to DMS or big timed you, and
Speaker 1: that is that like does that do you remember all?
Speaker 1: And I don't think you're a petty guy, but is
Speaker 1: that like you ever?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: But I also know you don't forget, so like, does
Speaker 1: that happen a lot for you?
Speaker 2: No? I remember like.
Speaker 3: The couple of like booking agents that really passed on
Speaker 3: me that like genuinely just like took the meeting and
Speaker 3: you just never heard back from and then somebody else
Speaker 3: come and says they passed Right, those you kind of
Speaker 3: don't forget because you know you're so desperate that those
Speaker 3: meetings meet everything right. But I also didn't hold much
Speaker 3: of a grudge though, because I man, I guess that's
Speaker 3: how I still look at stuff, keV. Is that even
Speaker 3: then I would go into those rooms like I don't
Speaker 3: care how this meeting goes. The fact that I was
Speaker 3: invited here, lets me know that it was like to
Speaker 3: me an erow this old fashioned phrase that the arrows
Speaker 3: are all always pointing us in the right direction. You know,
Speaker 3: you just got to look for him. It's like these
Speaker 3: were a rows for me, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: So anytime I got big shot at the fact that
Speaker 3: I was close enough to something to get big shot.
Speaker 2: At, it was like I'm cooking. I'm cooking.
Speaker 3: I thought about me and Paul talking about Paul Rosenberg.
Speaker 3: I met Paul Rosenberg when Yellow Wolf was getting ready
Speaker 3: to put out Love Story.
Speaker 1: Okay, so this is like twenty fourteen, fifteen mm.
Speaker 3: It's probably not right, around a decade ago, and he's
Speaker 3: it's way before right, probably a year seven eight months
Speaker 3: for the album came out. He was playing some of
Speaker 3: the music for like a private Grammy pre listening party
Speaker 3: for Interscope, and Paul was there and I got blackout
Speaker 3: drunk on whistle Big never Forget It. And you know,
Speaker 3: I met Paul then, and that's but I'm Yellow's plus one, right,
Speaker 3: And even then in those moments, I was like, man,
Speaker 3: I'm on the right path, Like if this dude likes
Speaker 3: me enough to invite me to this party and then
Speaker 3: introduce me to this dude. Like this is more a
Speaker 3: Roe's point in the right way, you know.
Speaker 1: I feel like Love Story was so ahead of its
Speaker 1: time that if that album came out in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: it's got a couple of number one records on it.
Speaker 2: Dude, it is that it still had a couple of
Speaker 2: really big reals.
Speaker 1: No, of course. I mean I think I think, uh,
Speaker 1: I know it's gone as platinum or gold. I think
Speaker 1: it was American you on there.
Speaker 3: I think that was a really weird time for Oh
Speaker 3: dude had the eminem record on there, my best.
Speaker 1: Friend yeah, yeah, out of my veins, that one, and
Speaker 1: the one about about his baby Mama.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, was empty Bottles on that record. Was the next?
Speaker 1: Empty Bottles was on that record? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Man, so many has so many big records. I think
Speaker 3: that it fell in a weird time. It was somewhere
Speaker 3: between the tail end of digital. Did you were streaming?
Speaker 3: Wasn't what streaming is yet?
Speaker 1: And and and and the other, the old school way
Speaker 1: was dying off?
Speaker 2: Was it was all but dead?
Speaker 1: It was weird. It was a weird limbo it was a.
Speaker 3: Super weird time to be putting out because remember Till
Speaker 3: It's Gone got picked up by the last scene of
Speaker 3: Sons of Anarchy.
Speaker 2: Which made that such a bid I remember that, Yeah, I.
Speaker 3: Remember said at the house, watching and going this dude's
Speaker 3: fixing out the biggest moment ever.
Speaker 2: I could feel it right then.
Speaker 1: For sure.
Speaker 3: You felt it in Nashville though, Dude him and Clever
Speaker 3: as DJ running around town on Harley's long hair. It
Speaker 3: was just such a different feeling that was happening around
Speaker 3: what he was doing in that moment. But I think
Speaker 3: it was just a very weird time to be putting
Speaker 3: out work. It's like buying houses or selling them.
Speaker 1: Right now, yo, you are the We kind of went
Speaker 1: over some of these numbers last night, the amount of
Speaker 1: physical copies you're actually selling, the true album sales, which
Speaker 1: to me means way more than streams. Right, streams can
Speaker 1: be manipulated. Streams could be background music. People could throw
Speaker 1: something on while they're at the barbershop. Shit just plays.
Speaker 1: If it isn't one hundred thousand, it's close to one
Speaker 1: hundred thousand actual physical copies of this album were bought,
Speaker 1: which is insane. It's it's it's almost unheard of. I
Speaker 1: feel like I feel like maybe Nikki still does that,
Speaker 1: but at least, you know, in the genre that I'm
Speaker 1: familiar with, it's pretty it's pretty damn near unheard of.
Speaker 1: You've grown this like fan base through obviously being unapologetically
Speaker 1: yourself but speaking for so many people who don't have
Speaker 1: a voice. But I also feel like you have this
Speaker 1: other side of your fan base that they just love you.
Speaker 1: They're not even like they like the music's cool, but
Speaker 1: they saw you on a podcast, right they saw you.
Speaker 1: They just love you. They saw you on you know,
Speaker 1: going and speaking to Congress. Just explain to me that
Speaker 1: connection with the fans that is, you know, it's anonymally
Speaker 1: in music right now, to have one hundred thousand physical
Speaker 1: copies moved in seven days, that's fucking insane.
Speaker 2: No, that's great, man.
Speaker 3: It's it's a support in a way that I couldn't
Speaker 3: ever dream that of felt. It's like overwhelming, honestly, you know,
Speaker 3: it's I don't know, man, it's crazy just having to
Speaker 3: me me and you talked about it too, and we
Speaker 3: talked about it off camera, but I'll say it on
Speaker 3: camera too. Is that I'm all I'm the grass is
Speaker 3: greener for me in that scenario where it's like the
Speaker 3: streaming side though, is such a big consumption side in
Speaker 3: the new world, because I guess I'm still nervous. I
Speaker 3: hope that the CDs are translating to people caring about
Speaker 3: the music because we've watched the street hustlers. I know
Speaker 3: dudes that have sold tens of thousands of CDs that
Speaker 3: couldn't sell seven tickets. So the real measure to me
Speaker 3: of an artist's success truly is if people show up
Speaker 3: to the building and see on.
Speaker 1: Four feet away from the stage.
Speaker 2: That's it. It's like to me, that's the tail tale.
Speaker 2: You sold out?
Speaker 1: How many people in Wichita, Kansas on a Tuesday?
Speaker 2: Yeah for sure, thirteen fourteen thousand.
Speaker 3: Cool, great show. We're gonna do it again the night
Speaker 3: of Springfield. But it's gonna be gonna be a ball
Speaker 3: down here in Springfield.
Speaker 1: Is the like the people will they will they come?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah? Is that? Can you build a tour around it? And?
Speaker 3: Uh, you know that's what to me whenever I look,
Speaker 3: and normally the top two or three albums can normally
Speaker 3: tell that road Wave is a huge touring act.
Speaker 2: Charlie is a huge touring act. You know what I mean,
Speaker 2: it's a but that's where that's where the rubber really
Speaker 2: meets the road is if you can get somebody to
Speaker 2: buy a ticket, because listen, man, I tell people, man,
Speaker 2: that's not a ticket stub. That's a soul. That's a story,
Speaker 2: and that's you get thirteen thousand stories. That's a babysitter,
Speaker 2: that's gas money, that's that's a rough day of work.
Speaker 3: I took a day off and drove in, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. That's all big stuff. So it's like,
Speaker 3: to me, that's the real tale.
Speaker 1: You've had so many interesting live moments in terms of
Speaker 1: just your career obviously, many gatherings of the Juggalos opening
Speaker 1: up for insane clown posse, being in a van with
Speaker 1: highlight running around this country. What uh you know? Because
Speaker 1: how many tickets total will this tour move by the end?
Speaker 2: It's it's seven hundred thousand.
Speaker 1: Seven hundred thousand. That's fucking crazy to here. I love
Speaker 1: as well. What was like for you crazy? Talk to
Speaker 1: me about the other the other side of your Tory
Speaker 1: career where you were in the van and I think
Speaker 1: you guys are trying to track down the van, Bertha, We're.
Speaker 2: Trying to find that old van right now. We sticked
Speaker 2: our guy on it.
Speaker 1: But like for you, like to have seen it on
Speaker 1: all ends of the spectrum, like take me back, and
Speaker 1: you kind of shared a story about like a rough
Speaker 1: a rough life show. You had what was like kind
Speaker 1: of your your valley of being on the road as
Speaker 1: an independent artist trying to make it before people gave
Speaker 1: a fuck.
Speaker 3: I told a story about whenever we played the Boardwalking Sacramento,
Speaker 3: when there was like seven people or something that showed up.
Speaker 3: But the one I told you that was just as
Speaker 3: funny was we played the Please called the Electric Factory
Speaker 3: Philly right in Philly, right, And I'm open enough for ICP.
Speaker 3: And I'm one of four. So what one of four
Speaker 3: means is there's four acts. I cps the fourth act.
Speaker 3: I'm the first act, which means I go first of
Speaker 3: all the four two as mad Child. Three is the
Speaker 3: Mafia six okay, which is three six Mafia their side group, Yeah,
Speaker 3: their side group short of Juicy.
Speaker 2: And and so I'm one of four in Philly at
Speaker 2: the Electric Factory.
Speaker 3: And every night what I would do is because there
Speaker 3: was like a change over time between acts, fifteen or
Speaker 3: twenty minutes, I would say the last song. I would go, hey, y'all,
Speaker 3: I got inside information here, such as Smad Child's not
Speaker 3: coming on stage for twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: So for the next twenty minutes until his song.
Speaker 3: Starts, I want to be back at the merch booth,
Speaker 3: signed stuff, taking pictures, smoking joints, whatever y'all want to do.
Speaker 2: Just come hang. You know.
Speaker 3: It's early, right, And uh I come off stage and
Speaker 3: I'm like trying to get through the crowd to the
Speaker 3: you know thing and normally have to put my hood
Speaker 3: up and kind of get there, and I'll take a
Speaker 3: picture or two on the way and uh man, I'm
Speaker 3: looking people straight and the eye nothing. I'm walking right
Speaker 3: by people. I just remember I just performed for this
Speaker 3: whole crowd.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And I go to my merch moove and not a
Speaker 2: soul is in there, cav not a listen there's and
Speaker 2: it's so packed that people are standing like they have
Speaker 2: looked my front of my merch booth has become a
Speaker 2: common area where like people would come together and exchange
Speaker 2: cigarettes or like put stuff in a bag.
Speaker 1: Even you were sitting there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody, I'm standing there like you know, like my
Speaker 2: little stuff behind me. You know what I'm saying, I'm
Speaker 2: selling my little T shirts. It's like nothing. It was
Speaker 2: so bad. I watched I watched, Uh, I watched.
Speaker 3: ICP from front of house, but not like front of house.
Speaker 3: I meant like front of house, like you know, I
Speaker 3: just went out there. Yeah, I just stood next to
Speaker 3: a guy. You know what I'm saying that look annoyed
Speaker 3: that I was taking up faces.
Speaker 2: Just watch those show.
Speaker 3: Those are those stick with you too, because those are
Speaker 3: the nights you get in the car and really be like,
Speaker 3: maybe I'm driven. You're looking for the arrows, and that's
Speaker 3: a night where you don't get one.
Speaker 2: You like you getting.
Speaker 3: In fact, arrows go the other way. Net negatives another negative.
Speaker 1: That's funny, Yo. I wanted to you know you and
Speaker 1: uh whether I don't know if you know this, but uh,
Speaker 1: you know your daughter and my son have something in common.
Speaker 1: They're both as as I heard you describe it on
Speaker 1: a podcast Victims of Drug Addiction. Because my son's mom,
Speaker 1: her whole life was just I mean, it was like
Speaker 1: a battle to keep her sober. She left him when
Speaker 1: he was like two for like a year, and then
Speaker 1: at the age of ten, I decided to pull the
Speaker 1: plug on trying to keep the bullshit together. He hasn't
Speaker 1: seen it. She hasn't seen him. He's nineteen. She hadn't
Speaker 1: seen since he was ten. Wow, but you know, my
Speaker 1: wife comes into his life when when he's eleven, and
Speaker 1: you know his mom now. Yeah, but you know, I
Speaker 1: wanted to talk to you, like, how do you deal
Speaker 1: with you know? And I'm kind of asking for advice
Speaker 1: here because my son's nineteen. He's a great kid, you know,
Speaker 1: just graduated high school, he's going to college. But I
Speaker 1: feel like sometimes I see him wearing that that unresolved
Speaker 1: mom shit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well he is. There's no way he's not.
Speaker 3: I mean even the toughest, smartest kids that are the
Speaker 3: most grounded and understanding, when you go through something like that,
Speaker 3: you can't help but wonder what's going on. And you
Speaker 3: also got to keep in mind that no matter how
Speaker 3: smart he is, that brain still developing. Yeah, for sure,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, he's still even though he's nineteen,
Speaker 3: he's an he can buy a cigarette now.
Speaker 2: It's not to me. He's not no adult. I wasn't
Speaker 2: an adulted eighteen.
Speaker 1: I mean I had him when I was eighteen.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you know, so you know that feeling.
Speaker 3: So it's like, I don't know, man, I would I
Speaker 3: would encourage you to encourage him, or I'll encourage him
Speaker 3: to reach out and seek real help about that, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. There is a book called.
Speaker 2: Children of Drug Addict Parents or something like that, children
Speaker 2: of Alcoholic Parents.
Speaker 3: I'm just not didn't you know whatever, But I normally
Speaker 3: would have that book on the top of my head.
Speaker 3: But I've read it before. It's a great book. It
Speaker 3: helped me a lot, just like getting in tune with
Speaker 3: that and understanding and one him just acknowledging it, that'll
Speaker 3: be a good step for him just to kind of
Speaker 3: be like, yeah, man, it does bother me a little
Speaker 3: bit that, you know.
Speaker 1: Do you have to deal with that with Bailey at all?
Speaker 1: Sometimes where you got kind of like, you know, because
Speaker 1: to get your you were forced to get your shit together.
Speaker 2: And I still had the moments would be where I
Speaker 2: can tell its way and on and we still allow
Speaker 2: her to talk. Yeah, and I allowed she I allow
Speaker 2: her to have space to feel however she feels about
Speaker 2: her mother. That's a big one because sometimes she's like, yo,
Speaker 2: I kind of want to talk to her and I
Speaker 2: want to figure this out, and I'm like cool. And
Speaker 2: then sometimes she's like, I never want to talk to
Speaker 2: that woman again, and I'm like, I respect that decision too,
Speaker 2: But either decision you make, I think it's important that
Speaker 2: you continue to get help about it. So, you know,
Speaker 2: she goes and Bay, he's been in therapy for a
Speaker 2: couple of years about it.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's important.
Speaker 3: They yeah, well, it just will help him to understand
Speaker 3: why he thinks the way he thinks about things. And
Speaker 3: I would hate for it to affect his relationships later
Speaker 3: in life by not getting ahead of it now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's like having you know, like the way
Speaker 1: you had Bunny, the way I have my wife. It's like, man,
Speaker 1: I don't know where. I don't know if I was
Speaker 1: able to even handle like the level of like fatherhood
Speaker 1: that came with trying to make it while also keeping
Speaker 1: this kid right on the right tracks. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying? So deep?
Speaker 3: No, that's deep. Thanks for sharing that. I'll get the
Speaker 3: name of that book though. Man, that book is it's
Speaker 3: it's incredible.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: I remember when I first looked at it, I was like,
Speaker 3: this doesn't look like children of adult children. Of adult
Speaker 3: alcoholics or something like that, adult children of our adult
Speaker 3: children of alcoholics, is it?
Speaker 2: Or something like that.
Speaker 1: You're on this health kick right now? How many I
Speaker 1: think I heard you say you lost about sixty pounds?
Speaker 1: Hundred pounds? Well, congratulations, I'm at a legit hundred.
Speaker 3: I'm at a legit hundred from my like kind of
Speaker 3: a little bit more than a hundred from what my
Speaker 3: biggest was. I'm down eighty or ninety this year.
Speaker 1: It's amazing. I remember the last time, because I remember
Speaker 1: was about twenty sixteen, seventeen, you had lost a lot
Speaker 1: of weight.
Speaker 2: Yep, and back this time I got to keep it off.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it's it's crazy because I was talking
Speaker 1: with Big X the Plug about this because I was like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: like you're like Big X the Plug, but like we
Speaker 1: also want you to be here, right. Do you worry
Speaker 1: about like your image of what the public knows you
Speaker 1: as being wrapped into being like a heavier guy.
Speaker 3: Man, I'm gonna lose the weight and I'm gonna break
Speaker 3: the curse.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Because there is a quote.
Speaker 3: Actor curse of actors who lost weight that couldn't find work,
Speaker 3: but there's also actors that lost weight and found more work,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. But if that is a
Speaker 3: quote unquote curse, I'm gonna break it. Me and my
Speaker 3: wife actually talked about this real deep one night recently,
Speaker 3: because she she knows whenever I get the eye of
Speaker 3: the tiger in me, she's seen it before. Now we've
Speaker 3: been together long enough that she's like, oh, I know
Speaker 3: my husband, he's not gonna stop to his weights off,
Speaker 3: like when he really dials in this, dude's fixing it
Speaker 3: completely shed this And she was like, well, you know,
Speaker 3: do you have a plan sustainable to keep it off?
Speaker 3: She just being a good woman, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: just having real conversations with me, And she goes, are
Speaker 3: you worried about any criticism?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: And I was like a little bit. I was like,
Speaker 3: I know that, I know how this works. Like they're
Speaker 3: gonna even though I'm losing the weight in front of everybody,
Speaker 3: They're still going to like, there's still gonna be some
Speaker 3: people like, well, of course he took the shot.
Speaker 2: I never took a shot. Yeah.
Speaker 3: It's like it's like they're not not that I'm against
Speaker 3: those in picks. My doctor thinks it's great. I'm just
Speaker 3: personally not. I'm afraid of stuff like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: I did drugs for so long. I like putting weird
Speaker 3: shit in my body on one fair enough.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: But I'm not saying I won't do it. But you
Speaker 3: know it's I can still see her. I can imagine
Speaker 3: that I'm about another seventy eighty pound. I got another
Speaker 3: goal to lose a lot more weight. And they'll come
Speaker 3: a point where they'll start saying I look sick, you know,
Speaker 3: and I'm cool with I'm just me. And her talked
Speaker 3: about it, and she was so honest. She was like, good,
Speaker 3: I just wanted to make sure it didn't hurt your feelings.
Speaker 2: I was like, no, I'm not.
Speaker 3: The difference is I think a lot of people make
Speaker 3: the mistake of going and hiding and getting healthy and
Speaker 3: then coming out healthy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Where it's like instead of doing it in front of everybody,
Speaker 1: so they see that.
Speaker 3: Like watch the daily rolls and I put them on
Speaker 3: my Instagram every day. It's like just what we're doing
Speaker 3: in life. And I'm not going to be one of
Speaker 3: them weird people that loses a bunch of weight and
Speaker 3: it becomes my identity.
Speaker 2: Neither right, like I feel better.
Speaker 3: I'm gonna talk about it because it's going to always
Speaker 3: be the elephant in the room. But it's like, I
Speaker 3: feel better, I'm thinking clearer, and uh, it's just it's
Speaker 3: one part of what I do every day is I
Speaker 3: now eat better, I fight my my food addiction demon,
Speaker 3: and I work out. It's just but it's still makes
Speaker 3: very little of who I am.
Speaker 2: As a human.
Speaker 3: Yeah, only making who I am as a human better.
Speaker 3: I'm only becoming a better human as I'm getting healthier.
Speaker 1: What for you like talk about just like because you know,
Speaker 1: for anybody who's friends with you, you've always been at
Speaker 1: a recreational relationship with certain substances. But for you, like,
Speaker 1: you know, just being around you the last like six
Speaker 1: seven months, I've noticed like you're like you've like calmed
Speaker 1: down a lot when it comes to I mean obviously
Speaker 1: we'll drink sometimes, but was there like a breaking point
Speaker 1: for you where you're like, yo, I gotta kind of
Speaker 1: kick back a little.
Speaker 2: I could not drink the way I was drinking and
Speaker 2: keep up with this schedule.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because dude, you're the tequila god.
Speaker 2: I drink. I don't drink a lot, but when I
Speaker 2: drink I drink a lot.
Speaker 3: Sure, I am legend with people. It gets it is crazy,
Speaker 3: but yeah, I just couldn't drink. I just man, I'm
Speaker 3: so like.
Speaker 2: I have one. I started implementing a little like adult
Speaker 2: forty year old rules.
Speaker 3: Now that are like, I don't drink unless I have
Speaker 3: a full day off the next day, just in case
Speaker 3: it's the way I like to drink and I haven't.
Speaker 2: Had a full day off.
Speaker 1: It.
Speaker 3: Yeah, backed up to a night that it made sense
Speaker 3: to drink in a long time night or something like
Speaker 3: we were we were thinking about it, like the iHeartRadio
Speaker 3: Awards was like one of those magical nights where we
Speaker 3: won an award that we're celebrating and had nothing to
Speaker 3: do the next day.
Speaker 2: It was like.
Speaker 1: Score, we know we got blacked out that night.
Speaker 2: Buba for sure, because when I like.
Speaker 1: That was wasn't that the name you fell in the pond?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I fear of the hotel splashed around? No, It's like, dude,
Speaker 3: those are the like if I'm gonna go out and party,
Speaker 3: I party that way and the next day it falls
Speaker 3: real recovery from Yeah, I gotta drink certain water, drink
Speaker 3: eat food, get in asana, getting I be I'm old.
Speaker 3: I just don't have it no more. So it's like,
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm just more I'm more in love
Speaker 3: with the pace of.
Speaker 2: The work I'm doing right now, we're working at a
Speaker 2: way different pace. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's crazy too, man, just to see the production,
Speaker 1: Like how many people are employed on this tour? One
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty something that's insane.
Speaker 2: Twenty two trucks, sixteen buses. Bro, Like, it's crazy, huge production.
Speaker 1: That's so crazy, so fun though, Like so many people's
Speaker 1: livelihoods are in this building and connected to you going
Speaker 1: on that stage and doing your You're out, And that's.
Speaker 3: Not counting the one hundred plus locals every night, another
Speaker 3: one hundred vendors.
Speaker 1: Right, you know what I mean. So that shit's crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm curious.
Speaker 2: I know.
Speaker 1: Really, you got your bar coming yes in Nashville, which
Speaker 1: is I can't wait to like how far along is
Speaker 1: that process?
Speaker 3: Oh it's there, dude, they went the other day. It's
Speaker 3: framed out, it's ready. We should be open top of
Speaker 3: the year sometime early.
Speaker 1: So you already got the least together and all that.
Speaker 3: Oh no, at least, I mean, dude, this building is
Speaker 3: being has been getting rebuilt for the last eight months.
Speaker 1: Oh wow from scratch.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this has been a.
Speaker 3: They kept the frame of the building because it was
Speaker 3: an old concrete built in the nineteen twenties concrete style,
Speaker 3: but then they just framed wood inside of it. But
Speaker 3: she had no completely remodeled the whole thing. Really really
Speaker 3: did it the right way.

Speaker 2: I'd love to expand. I love it.
Speaker 3: Man, let me tell you, I want to touch this.
Speaker 3: For a second, I said it. It kind of glossed over
Speaker 3: and on, Joe. But I'm the first.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 3: Of course, Steve and his son BT owned most of
Speaker 3: Broadway and their locals. They're real Nashville people, like for
Speaker 3: real Steve Smith and BT. But as a as an artist,
Speaker 3: I'm the first real Nashville guy to get a bar.
Speaker 2: It's a big deal. Man.
Speaker 3: It's like, I don't know, I don't feel entitled to
Speaker 3: very Broadway. Yeah, I don't feel entitled to very much.
Speaker 3: But like being a local, It's like.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like I feel local.
Speaker 3: That was my only complaint when I didn't think I'd
Speaker 3: ever be in the runnings for one. I'd be like,
Speaker 3: let Chris Young get one or Cadillac three or Ernest Like,
Speaker 3: let a local get one.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've done the the opry, You've got a
Speaker 1: bar on Broadway. I think the next thing is owning
Speaker 1: a piece of the Titans.
Speaker 2: I would love to own. Hey, miss Samy, Me and
Speaker 2: Miss Amy, your friends even hang out with the other day.
Speaker 2: Just give me a little skin in the game.
Speaker 3: Amy, I'll give you some money and I'll stay out
Speaker 3: of the business completely. Miss Amy, I just love to
Speaker 3: you know what's crazy I talk about that. I mean,
Speaker 3: the only way it happens is if she'd ever let
Speaker 3: me buy into the team, and I'd take I.
Speaker 2: Would take whatever she'd give you. But of course I
Speaker 2: would have never dreamed of that. Man. But Eric Church
Speaker 2: is kind of a mentor to me.
Speaker 3: And Eric Church owns a piece of the Charlotte Hornets.
Speaker 2: Wow, like a real piece.
Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: And it's a true story. And I heard Kenny Chesney
Speaker 3: is trying to work out a deal with a with
Speaker 3: his dream. I think has been always work out with
Speaker 3: mister craft. Something for the Patriots from a lifelong Patriots
Speaker 3: fan got.
Speaker 1: Me So Tom brook Brady just brought up a piece
Speaker 1: of the fucking Raiders.

Speaker 1: got to do something with that. Just it just didn't
Speaker 1: work out this time.
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean for me, just like my list of
Speaker 3: people out want to work with or I still want
Speaker 3: to work with, like Miley really bad. She's from Tennessee?
Speaker 3: What not from Tennessee? Always I like make her claim Tennessee.
Speaker 3: I don't know she probably you know, but I know
Speaker 3: that they have Tennessee roots. Of course Sissa. I think

Speaker 3: them is people. And you know what I mean, she
Speaker 3: is so special. She is such a gift from God. Man,
Speaker 3: she is so grounded and the music is so.
Speaker 2: I hey, how are you.
Speaker 1: There's a special delivery? Sorry sorry, A nice a nice
Speaker 1: young lady.
Speaker 3: But and you know she's Sciss is great also because
Speaker 3: of outside of the writing, the music, the rollouts are crazy,
Speaker 3: the labels I mean, but.
Speaker 2: Man, her artistry is just different. Right.
Speaker 3: I love when you know people are putting in the
Speaker 3: work and you can't watch Sissa do anything thing live,
Speaker 3: whether it's an award show or an actual concert without
Speaker 3: it just reeking of her putting tens.
Speaker 2: Or hundreds of hours into into it. Yeah you know
Speaker 2: what I mean. Like not the craft itself, you can
Speaker 2: tell she spent tens of thousands there, but I mean
Speaker 2: in individual you see her on an award show, like
Speaker 2: the Grammys, and you're like, dude, I bet she spent
Speaker 2: one hundred hours working on this, you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: You're like real hours stand here and working on the court,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I think we waited for five years.
Speaker 3: For albums and she don't miss man, because if you
Speaker 3: take that long to put out an album. You know
Speaker 3: this in our business is inside baseball right here. But
Speaker 3: there's an old joke that says, uh, the longer you sit,
Speaker 3: the bigger the hit, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 3: the longer you sit out, you better have that much
Speaker 3: bigger of a hit, you know what I mean, Like

Speaker 3: respect kind of early in the process.
Speaker 2: So I had a moment where I was like, all right.
Speaker 3: Cool, I'm holding Yeah, It's like because I knew when
Speaker 3: you walk in those rooms, I'm still the kid that's
Speaker 3: coming to wrap at the lunch table, like I want
Speaker 3: to prove that I just deserve to be at the table.
Speaker 3: And uh I came in with that kind of attitude. Man,
Speaker 3: it was really cool. We hung out, wrote stayed there
Speaker 3: for a few hours. I mean, we chatted. Is he
Speaker 3: by the way, Kendrick Lamar pop out of just having okay,
Speaker 3: So I'm getting like when I say just happened, I'm
Speaker 3: his first session.
Speaker 2: After that, I'm.
Speaker 3: Getting all getting I'm getting all that energy. You know,
Speaker 3: all these people in the room together for the first
Speaker 3: time too, So I'm getting all this energy.
Speaker 2: So it was really it was special. Man. Is he directed?
Speaker 1: Because I heard he's like a perfectionist dude, so he
Speaker 1: directed your takes perfectionist.
Speaker 3: Let me tell you about Drey. This dude, he's doctor
Speaker 3: Dre for a reason. But he's incredible. He's a conductor
Speaker 3: of a symphony in there, and he hears everything in everything,
Speaker 3: and he hears it twenty different ways. And he'll like
Speaker 3: put his ears up to these two speakers and you'll
Speaker 3: start to sing and he'll be like a little sharp
Speaker 3: you were flat on the word d you were a
Speaker 3: little sharp on the word, and like he is man,
Speaker 3: it's like not a perfectionist in like a picky asshole
Speaker 3: way and like a super encouraging like now you got
Speaker 3: that in your baby just a little bit like right here,
Speaker 3: and I hit it like this, Now give me one
Speaker 3: choice like this to work with. Like he makes you
Speaker 3: feel like a rock star too, So you also get
Speaker 3: why he's good at this because he's clearly correcting me
Speaker 3: and getting what he wants out of me, but doing
Speaker 3: it while like making me feel like I'm like Adele.
Speaker 2: I'm over here feeling like for a forklift, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean.
Speaker 3: I'm over here feeling like fucking Frank Ocean right like
Speaker 3: I'm killing it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Snoop was not around.
Speaker 3: Snoop was not there, Okay, saddest part of the whole
Speaker 3: story is that Snoop wasn't there.
Speaker 2: I don't think I could have took it though.
Speaker 1: I just feel like I couldn't.
Speaker 2: Have walked into Snoop Dogg and Doctor.
Speaker 1: Drape famous in like twenty years where it doesn't matter what,
Speaker 1: like you're just gonna be, You're gonna have five TV shows,
Speaker 1: You're gonna be hosting the Olympics.
Speaker 3: I'll receive that. I would be honored, kind of would
Speaker 3: love it. Noop is definitely a model, a career after
Speaker 3: kind of guy.
Speaker 1: Yo, it's give me some of the inside baseball on
Speaker 1: you know, when we talk about the music industry, You've
Speaker 1: seen so many facets of it. You've been independent, you've
Speaker 1: done distro deals. Uh, you know, you're you're with your
Speaker 1: label now, but you still you still own everything, right,
Speaker 1: It's still it's like a partnership. Would it for you
Speaker 1: would be you know, the like number one thing you
Speaker 1: could point to that you were able to kind of
Speaker 1: do in the last two or three years that is
Speaker 1: like applicable for other artists who are watching this, whether
Speaker 1: it's like learning something new or changing an attitude towards everything,
Speaker 1: or something on the business side, maybe bringing in the
Speaker 1: right people maybe, you know, because sometimes as an independent
Speaker 1: artist you don't think you need as much help as
Speaker 1: you do. But now you have a team, like a
Speaker 1: real team, you know.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I could definitely say that the biggest difference
Speaker 3: was really getting with a label, like honestly, not because
Speaker 3: of the machine as much as people like I used
Speaker 3: to be the guy who like rage like the machine, right,
Speaker 3: but more so just having an infrastructure of people who
Speaker 3: are working all day delicately towards what you're ever.
Speaker 1: We all got the same goal.
Speaker 3: We all got the same goal is to try to
Speaker 3: get this music in front of as many people as possible.
Speaker 3: And it's been really, really, really cool. But I can
Speaker 3: also tell everybody this man, that it's I truly believe
Speaker 3: that what makes music and art so special is that
Speaker 3: it can be done so many different ways. So do
Speaker 3: it the way that your heart is convicted to do it.
Speaker 3: Like for me, my heart was convicted to try to
Speaker 3: get my message to critical mass. Like I felt like
Speaker 3: what I was saying was so unspoken for in mass
Speaker 3: media and in critical mass, meaning like the masses quote unquote,
Speaker 3: that I wanted to do whatever I could to try
Speaker 3: to get that message there, and that the deal, the
Speaker 3: percentage was worth doing that deal and the stress that
Speaker 3: comes with it too, also the attention, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean, Like there's a whole new work schedule, Like
Speaker 3: you know, there's.
Speaker 1: Also like a whole new way you have to move.
Speaker 3: Man, Everything about my life is different, Everything about my
Speaker 3: life is different. I'll be the first one to admit that,
Speaker 3: but it was a sacrifice that I wanted to make
Speaker 3: to try to get the message out.
Speaker 2: You know what I mean? But man that you know
Speaker 2: there's other artists that do it otherwise.
Speaker 3: Me and you were talking about how much we love
Speaker 3: the way Rod Waves operates, like he just wakes up
Speaker 3: and he's like.
Speaker 2: You know what, the album's done, let's put it out.
Speaker 3: And then he puts it out and goes in towards it,
Speaker 3: and then you don't hear from him again until he weekends.
Speaker 2: The same way.
Speaker 3: Able is the I am. We've talked about this privately
Speaker 3: a bunch, but I love I am such a fan
Speaker 3: of people that do it different than how I do
Speaker 3: it because I'm like most people. You know, why this something?
Speaker 3: I'll this this good one. I used when everybody says
Speaker 3: comparison is a thief of joy. I used to always
Speaker 3: look at the way other people would do things, and
Speaker 3: if they did it different than me, I had a
Speaker 3: natural that was the wrong way to do.
Speaker 1: It, that you were doing it the wrong way. They
Speaker 1: were doing that.
Speaker 3: Somebody had to be wrong. There's no way that both
Speaker 3: could be right correct. And now I've realized that there's
Speaker 3: like I let go that was all ego.
Speaker 1: There's no rules.
Speaker 2: Now I look like there's no rules man.
Speaker 3: It's like whatever your conviction is, to do it, whatever
Speaker 3: way you want to do it.
Speaker 2: That actually works for you. You know.
Speaker 3: It's uh, what the best news I ever heard from
Speaker 3: a trainer. When I sat down with Ian and Uh,
Speaker 3: we were talking about getting my weight together, and I
Speaker 3: was like, what kind of diet are.
Speaker 2: We going on? It's like the one that you'll eat mmmm,
Speaker 2: And I was like huh.
Speaker 3: He was like, yeah, man, all that stuff is like, yeah,
Speaker 3: does keto work for sure? But can you eat carbs
Speaker 3: and still lose weight?
Speaker 2: For sure?
Speaker 3: Can you do all this? It really comes down to
Speaker 3: what you will stick to, the moderation you're willing to
Speaker 3: eat at. If you want to eat nothing but shitty foods,
Speaker 3: we can really make that figure out. You're gonna have
Speaker 3: to eat a lot less because this is a calorie
Speaker 3: in calorie.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But when he put that to me, it's like, I
Speaker 3: feel that same way I walk through life with that.
Speaker 3: I used to walk through life like this, keV. Everything
Speaker 3: that I had I held like this, and it served
Speaker 3: me none at all. It only worked against me. I
Speaker 3: learned I walked through life like this. I don't hold
Speaker 3: none of that stuff like this no more, you know
Speaker 3: what I mean. I don't have none of those I
Speaker 3: don't have No. I'm not hammered to one ideology. I'm
Speaker 3: open to listen to any interpretation anybody has of anything,
Speaker 3: to see if I can gain anything from it at
Speaker 3: any moment. I'm not like that overly committed anything at
Speaker 3: any point anymore.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think you like you're on a
Speaker 1: record with Russ. There's a kid named love Russell. Have
Speaker 1: you heard of the Russell? Yeah, like the Russell's. He's
Speaker 1: doing this pay what you want live show thing, and
Speaker 1: it's like, I've never seen anybody do that.
Speaker 2: It's work, dude.
Speaker 3: It's like, go do it the way that you want
Speaker 3: to do it, the way Russell has done it. I
Speaker 3: love watching people that do it their own way.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I chose to write songs about it, stuff that I
Speaker 2: grew up experiencing, and I chose to go out and
Speaker 2: beat the drum about it like this. You know, that's
Speaker 2: just the way I chose to go about it. Yo.
Speaker 1: When you write some of these records, man, like it
Speaker 1: feels like like you know what I think about like
Speaker 1: the records you got with Skyler that is going crazy
Speaker 1: on TikTok right now after you get down recording that,
Speaker 1: like you wear that on you for a little bit,
Speaker 1: Like that's a really like that's a crazy Oh.
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, we have sessions. Man, you know you don't
Speaker 2: You're not writing the right song if you don't leave
Speaker 2: a piece of it there. Yeah of you there, you.
Speaker 3: Know what I mean, if there's not a part of
Speaker 3: you that it doesn't stir your soul. The songs that
Speaker 3: mean the most to me are the ones that sit
Speaker 3: on my phone and bother me that they're not out,
Speaker 3: Like this was one of those songs. The Skylar record
Speaker 3: was like the song with Keith Urban Believe it or not,
Speaker 3: was like I just could not quit singing that and
Speaker 3: don't mean I don't taste and crave it in every
Speaker 3: corner of my mind right Like that line for whatever reason,
Speaker 3: just stuck with me in such a way that I
Speaker 3: was like, if we don't put this song out, like
Speaker 3: one of my favorite songs ever. Look it up from
Speaker 3: Red Quick Gooch. You always blow the girl's name wrong, Jamie,
Speaker 3: She's got the two Am song at.
Speaker 2: Two am and I'm still away writing this song. I
Speaker 2: get it all down on paper, it's no longer inside
Speaker 2: of me.
Speaker 1: Two am song.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called just Breathe two am, Just breathe good.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to hear it. Yeah. And she has
Speaker 2: a line that goes.
Speaker 3: The end of the song goes two am. And I'm
Speaker 3: still awake writing this song. If I get it all
Speaker 3: out on paper, it's no longer inside of me, threatening
Speaker 3: the life.
Speaker 1: It belongs to.
Speaker 3: Wow, arguably greatest lyric ever written in a song. I've
Speaker 3: been arguing this with people all the time, and whatever
Speaker 3: I mean. There's a lot of other lyric you know,
Speaker 3: I could there's other, but like, as a songwriter, I
Speaker 3: don't think anybody's ever encapsul how I feel in one
Speaker 3: sentence ever Better then, like songs like past Yesterday drive
Speaker 3: me crazy because I know that they belong to someone
Speaker 3: else and I have to get them out.
Speaker 2: They're not for me.
Speaker 3: I have a lot of songs that are for me
Speaker 3: that will never make it, that are just wasn't either
Speaker 3: written well enough, I just never wrote, or just they
Speaker 3: were for.
Speaker 2: Me, you know what I mean. But this song, when
Speaker 2: it's really not for you, those are those kinds of songs.
Speaker 1: Man, yo, because you have this Like you know, when
Speaker 1: I was watching the Hulu documentary when it came out,
Speaker 1: there was a part where I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was a grandmother and a daughter, you were approached backstage,
Speaker 1: and I forget the exact interaction that ended up happening
Speaker 1: between you and these two fans, but it may like
Speaker 1: brought tears to the minds. It was like so crazy, But
Speaker 1: I can only imagine for you that's like every day, right,
Speaker 1: like there's people out here with signs of you know,
Speaker 1: maybe a kid that overdose store.
Speaker 2: This is like if I remember that right, that story
Speaker 2: was a murder suicide, yeah, little girl.
Speaker 1: It was something.
Speaker 3: It was just a lot, but uh, it was one
Speaker 3: of the one of the hardest stories I've ever heard.
Speaker 3: I do hear that stuff a lot.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 3: I just feel honored that I can help people in
Speaker 3: such a moment. I'm very empathic, so I feel it.
Speaker 3: I definitely feel it.
Speaker 1: How do you turn off that because you also kind
Speaker 1: of like, you know, you have your own shit to
Speaker 1: worry about, so it's like, you know, you're having all
Speaker 1: these deep interactions with people, you see, how the whether
Speaker 1: even if it's online like the TikTok response to your record,
Speaker 1: it's so crazy.
Speaker 3: I'm encouraged by it too, though, because I think that
Speaker 3: it's like creating conversations.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love that.
Speaker 3: Whenever I spoke about Finton all that, Whenever I went
Speaker 3: to the Grammys two weeks later, everybody on the red
Speaker 3: carpet want to just tell me their story about a
Speaker 3: family member they had. You know, it's like that kind
Speaker 3: of vulnerability because I think once we start letting people
Speaker 3: tell their stories, like I don't know how many times
Speaker 3: you share the story about your son and your podcast.
Speaker 2: And it's zero.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you see what I'm saying, Like, now there's somebody
Speaker 3: who's been watching you for years that's gonna see that,
Speaker 3: and like it's gonna impact them different because they're gonna
Speaker 3: be like, damn, man.
Speaker 2: Him, damn.
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Like it's gonna hit different with people.
Speaker 3: So like me, creating that kind of vulnerability where people
Speaker 3: will have these kind of conversations is Man.
Speaker 2: I think it's what I'm actually really here for.
Speaker 1: Pose.
Speaker 2: I think that's truly what my purpose is.
Speaker 3: The music and me talking is just a vessel. The
Speaker 3: music is just a vessel to create these conversations with
Speaker 3: people that normally wouldn't be had, you know what I mean,
Speaker 3: Because now it's like there's we've You've brought a human
Speaker 3: element to it.
Speaker 1: So Vester Stallone, you said it was the first person
Speaker 1: that commented congrats on the album.
Speaker 2: The first person first comments.
Speaker 3: Sulton King slides the best shout out to the Stallone sisters. Systeine,
Speaker 3: Yes they are. They came to the show. Is it
Speaker 3: Sophia or Sophia. I think it's Sophie Sophie Stallone or
Speaker 3: is it Sophia Stallone? But it's and Sofia and the
Speaker 3: sweetest girls ever, so humble. You never think they grew up,
Speaker 3: Sophia Custine and Sophia Stallone. You would never know they
Speaker 3: were like they just don't act like Sylvester Stallone's kids.
Speaker 3: They just act like two like really humble, cool kids,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. And I say kids like
Speaker 3: cause I'm forty and they're in their twenties. Probably you
Speaker 3: know what I mean. But they were so sweet.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 3: Sistine loved Bunny. This is how Bunny changes my life.
Speaker 3: As always found me through Bunny. Then seeing they had
Speaker 3: a documentary about me on Hulu, it was like, oh well,
Speaker 3: this is Bunny's husband, let's see what this is about.
Speaker 3: Loves it, and then like Cistine being a true champion,
Speaker 3: thank you for this forever. Sisteine rallies her family around
Speaker 3: one night like, hey, y'all gott to watch this. This

Speaker 3: my next, my next American tours a year after the
Speaker 3: next twenty six he'll be up for me for sure.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take them abroad wherever I can, wherever I
Speaker 2: can get.
Speaker 1: Could you see yourself doing another hip hop album?
Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I don't I don't have If
Speaker 2: you get you you'd have to probably get the itch
Speaker 2: right like something I'd have to really, yeah, something would
Speaker 2: like and I would spend a lot of time thinking
Speaker 2: about what the subject matter was.
Speaker 3: I wrapped about certain things for so long that I
Speaker 3: wouldn't even know how to. And I was always so
Speaker 3: honest in my raps that I don't know if I
Speaker 3: would even be allowed that kind of honesty right now
Speaker 3: in my life, you know.
Speaker 2: Yo, I mean, I don't know. I just don't know. Man,
Speaker 2: I don't have the itch at all. Well, we're talking
Speaker 2: about this some people's hearts out there.
Speaker 1: There's so much money, there's so many deals.
Speaker 3: I would rather do a hook for Big Exes album,
Speaker 3: which I'm working on. Oh so you're I'm working on
Speaker 3: a Big X record. I would rather do something for
Speaker 3: Mexican O T. I would rather work with Joiner again.
Speaker 3: I would rather work with him again.
Speaker 1: That makes sense.
Speaker 3: I would rather like keep I think I'm bringing more
Speaker 3: value to hip hop right now than I ever brought
Speaker 3: to hip hop.
Speaker 2: And I hadn't wrapped a bar in five years.
Speaker 3: So it's like, I think I just want to keep
Speaker 3: doing that because I think I'm really I want to
Speaker 3: do another Tech nine record. I want to make sure
Speaker 3: that I want to I want to help hip hop
Speaker 3: and them, I think I don't think I would help
Speaker 3: hip hop by trying to be hip hop.
Speaker 1: Well, and I think too like you're like, like you said,
Speaker 1: you're doctor d calls, You're I mean you're to me,
Speaker 1: you're you're a pretty genrealist man. I feel like you've
Speaker 1: kind of always been that way.
Speaker 2: So it's like sure, and like that's a big one,
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, that's huge, Like to work
Speaker 2: with somebody like Rod now you know what I mean,
Speaker 2: like goa happen. But yeah, that's my heart. Maybe one
Speaker 2: day I'd love to wrap on somebody else's stuff for fun.
Speaker 2: I always joke with all my rapper homies like if
Speaker 2: you ever get one, it really makes sense, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, maybe like slide a little sneaky twelve
Speaker 2: in somewhere and see if I still got it.
Speaker 1: Yo, it's can you can you speak?
Speaker 2: Struggle could get it out of I mean struggle at him.
Speaker 2: They could get it out of the probably maybe Wolf, Yeah,
Speaker 2: Wolf could get it out of him. Yeah. But but
Speaker 2: once again, I think I would do Wolf more by like.
Speaker 3: Trailer in the Skyhook, which was great. Wolf wrapped and
Speaker 3: I did. I just think I bring more value to
Speaker 3: the song by doing what I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it is whild Do you still have a ton
Speaker 1: of those Day One like fans who maybe because you know,
Speaker 1: you are a part of this like underground hip hop
Speaker 1: uh world that was very niche. It was like and
Speaker 1: I was a part of that world, you know, with
Speaker 1: Ritz and Wolf and yourself, and you know, we can
Speaker 1: go on and on and on. I guess like what
Speaker 1: would call that kind of like the white the like
Speaker 1: twenty ten white rapper.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was an air underground like rapper things.
Speaker 1: Everybody was going all the famous white rappers are going
Speaker 1: at each other. But it's like, like, do you still
Speaker 1: see those same things because you were talking about back
Speaker 1: in the day you would give pizza in Knoxville to
Speaker 1: the people standing outside when you'd sell out, and you're like, yo,
Speaker 1: we should do that again. But like, do you still
Speaker 1: run into those crazy like Day one fans who?
Speaker 2: Oh yeah all the time? Man, they're awesome. I went
Speaker 2: to the DMV. I was home. I've been home two
Speaker 2: days in the last one hundred days. They were just
Speaker 2: like four days ago.
Speaker 3: Walking to the DMV, I've been in there thirty seconds, right,
Speaker 3: and I'm just looking for somebody I know to go Hey,
Speaker 3: it's not letting me set this up online. I'm only
Speaker 3: in town for a day. I need to bring my
Speaker 3: daughter to get a license, which I am proud to
Speaker 3: announce on the Bootleg CAF podcast. My sixteen year old daughter,
Speaker 3: Bailey Anne, is now a licensed driver.
Speaker 1: Congrats, it's a huge deal. Thank you, A huge deal.
Speaker 2: So I walk in, the first person I see is
Speaker 2: a dude with a Jelly Roll shirt. Not making this up.
Speaker 2: First dude, I mean. I run into him and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what's up.
Speaker 1: He's like David.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's ghost white. You could tell he's like
Speaker 3: been with me a long time. He immediately shows me
Speaker 3: like a a game bad Apple blended tag like my
Speaker 3: sorry two of like the original brands that we tried
Speaker 3: to take off. And uh, He's like, I got a
Speaker 3: brother in the car and you meet him. I was like, yell,
Speaker 3: let me go talk to this person. I meet him
Speaker 3: on the way out. So I take a couple of
Speaker 3: pictures and I meet the DMV people are so sweet,
Speaker 3: too many girl I know. Immediately gets with the manager
Speaker 3: I know, and they hooked me up what I needed.
Speaker 3: I leave and I meet his brother on the way out,
Speaker 3: and his brother goes, now, you don't get me wrong,
Speaker 3: I like this album of years, but when you're gonna
Speaker 3: drop some.
Speaker 1: Of that good good shit again?
Speaker 2: And I go, good good shit, you know, and he goes,
Speaker 2: you know what I'm talking about? This stuffs and he shook,
Speaker 2: I need you to do something with Haystack.
Speaker 3: He was like, He's like, I'm talking about it, and
Speaker 3: I said, listen, man, don't take this wrong, sir. I
Speaker 3: don't want to sound like Andre three thousand. I'm get
Speaker 3: in trouble here, but at a forty years old would
Speaker 3: as soon to be college kid, I'm not sure what
Speaker 3: I would rap about, you know what I mean. I'm
Speaker 3: not sure that people would even want to hear what
Speaker 3: I rapped about.
Speaker 1: Right now. It's like, you know what I mean, Like,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna rap about slanging freaking crack, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2: Like slaming pussy, you know what I mean. Those days are.
Speaker 3: It's like, it's like, you know, I'm not gonna rap
Speaker 3: about I don't know. I guess I could rap about
Speaker 3: what's happening in my life now, but I'm kind of
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know. I'm having more.
Speaker 2: Fun telling other people's stories. Yeah, and I don't.
Speaker 3: I've never done that in hip hop. I've only kind
Speaker 3: of expressed self, so I'd have to find my way
Speaker 3: into it.
Speaker 1: Are you still when you have you know your background
Speaker 1: that you have and I'm sure a friend group of
Speaker 1: a certain you know amount of people who may or
Speaker 1: may not be up to criminal activities. You know, when
Speaker 1: you come from that lifestyle, you fall out with people.
Speaker 1: But when you have this meteoric rise to fame, it
Speaker 1: feels like the people who are closest to you or
Speaker 1: where you're from, usually in hip hop, of course worse,
Speaker 1: you get the most hate from you know, you didn't
Speaker 1: bring me up with you, do you?
Speaker 2: Like?
Speaker 1: Like, how do you deal with that shit? Doug, Because
Speaker 1: like even me and on whatever level of success I have,
Speaker 1: I deal with that shit all the time.
Speaker 2: Man. It's it's really hard. It hurts.
Speaker 3: Thanks for bringing this up because it's probably one of
Speaker 3: the thorns on my side of life that it took
Speaker 3: me a while to forgive myself for not being able
Speaker 3: to do everything for everybody. But somebody told me you
Speaker 3: can't be everything to everybody, you know what I mean?
Speaker 3: And I just started forgiving myself and giving myself grace
Speaker 3: you know where it's like. Look, man, if you think
Speaker 3: that I'm responsible for bringing somebody up, your mentality is wrong.
Speaker 2: Anyways.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Like I remember been a time where my entire
Speaker 3: world felt like it relied on the actions of another man.
Speaker 3: You know, does that make sense?
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 2: That's not the way to go through life.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: If you if your success is dependent on anybody at all,
Speaker 2: you were in the wrong. You're in the wrong area
Speaker 2: searching for it. So if you're looking for a homie
Speaker 2: to do this for you, or you got your buddy
Speaker 2: that's doing this, that he might be able to give
Speaker 2: you a look, or this guy might be able to
Speaker 2: do this for you. If you're one of those people,
Speaker 2: that mentality is going to tear you down. That's that
Speaker 2: street stuff that tourists down for years. It's also the
Speaker 2: same street stuff that'll have you. I was thinking about
Speaker 2: this the other day, that the streets will train you
Speaker 2: to let somebody come in your house and shoot your
Speaker 2: child and you not call the police on them.
Speaker 3: Think about just now, that I'm an adult, and I
Speaker 3: even say that back out loud, I go, how did
Speaker 3: I believe that? How did I buy into that, you
Speaker 3: know what I mean, Like, how did I even let
Speaker 3: that become a thought? All that stuff works hand in
Speaker 3: hand to me. All that is, all of those are
Speaker 3: the same language. The other languages I look for now
Speaker 3: that I'm very I pay attention to language now, keV,
Speaker 3: that'll do you know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's like entitlement words.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Entitlement's the worst, man.
Speaker 3: You know, these are the things that are like or
Speaker 3: even friends who are like. I had a friend tell
Speaker 3: me recently, he's like, you change, man, don't act like
Speaker 3: you're not different. And I'm and I had to really
Speaker 3: take perspective of that because it hurt my feelings. But
Speaker 3: then I thought, I was that he's totally right. I
Speaker 3: have Yeah, well, because there's no way you have this
Speaker 3: kind of schedule and this kind of clarity and you're
Speaker 3: working this hard with this kind of a mission and
Speaker 3: purpose and there just not be changes that happen like yeah,
Speaker 3: I've changed. I've got five hundred and thirty seven unread
Speaker 3: text messages. If yours is one of them, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what I mean, Like one hundred and
Speaker 1: eighty people whose mouths I have to feel like.
Speaker 3: There's one hundred and eighty people that are counting on
Speaker 3: me to make sure everything that stage right. And that's
Speaker 3: not counting the fourteen thousand people that came here to
Speaker 3: get served. You know, there's they're like, we look at
Speaker 3: this like church, man, we're here to serve, dude, that
Speaker 3: we're not here to do anything but serve. We are
Speaker 3: here to try to make people leave this building feeling better.
Speaker 1: You're viral to address the Congress I thought was one
Speaker 1: of the most just beautiful moments, dude, Like it was
Speaker 1: fucking insane. I know you've talked about it a lot.
Speaker 1: I know that there was a bill that ended up
Speaker 1: getting passed right.
Speaker 2: That it did the fend dolphin all that was put
Speaker 2: in the law. I wonder I'll tell you a story
Speaker 2: about that off camera. Remind me got you?
Speaker 1: I wonder, like for you, you do have so much
Speaker 1: good grace, so much influence right now, Like is that
Speaker 1: like an area in which you're you want to still
Speaker 1: kind of be active in terms of.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, I definitely want to just I want
Speaker 3: to go use my ah No, that was the one
Speaker 3: and done for me unless they need me for something
Speaker 3: that I'm convicted about. As you can imagine, every Senator
Speaker 3: on America called me send us an email the next
Speaker 3: week with the calls, but uh, I'm just wasn't interested. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm very specific into I don't like politics.
Speaker 2: I just never have.
Speaker 3: I mean, you can't even vote, right, Yeah, I can't vote.
Speaker 3: I don't have your a feeling. Yes stuff, whoever, somebody
Speaker 3: giving my right.
Speaker 2: Vote back and we'll start to go, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 2: we'll talk.
Speaker 3: But I'm an ally in need of things that I know, right,
Speaker 3: you know, I'm just also big about not talking about
Speaker 3: shit I don't know. Yeah, I knew that particular subject
Speaker 3: pretty well. There's a couple of other subjects that if
Speaker 3: it really came up, I'd be willing to go try
Speaker 3: to speak about. But I just want to make sure
Speaker 3: that our people had a voice that day. That was
Speaker 3: real simple for me, you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think too. It's like, you know, going back
Speaker 1: to what we're talking about the AA meetings, and you know,
Speaker 1: having family members who are addicts, like legitimately people look
Speaker 1: at and I just heard you talk about this, but
Speaker 1: people don't acknowledge addicts who are in a really low
Speaker 1: places like people. They really dehumanize them. And and you know,
Speaker 1: I think I think that's stat that. Like, to me,
Speaker 1: that was like an important moment to like shake people
Speaker 1: up and me like, yo, there's like you know the
Speaker 1: airplane reference you made.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the airplane reference is real. That many people die
Speaker 3: day as a plane crash. And it's because we've long
Speaker 3: had this thing in America where we look at everybody
Speaker 3: as a it's a personal thing.
Speaker 2: We have no sense of community.
Speaker 3: No more is to be more, have more tribalism in
Speaker 3: America than we've ever had, to have more tribalism in
Speaker 3: America than we've ever had. I feel like we have
Speaker 3: less community than we've ever had.
Speaker 1: And you know what's crazy is most of the major
Speaker 1: shit we all agree on.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, it's crazy.
Speaker 1: But think about it, like I don't. I think I
Speaker 1: think we all agree that like our tax dollars, we'd
Speaker 1: like to kind of know that they're helping you know,
Speaker 1: us a little, you know, not getting you know, sent
Speaker 1: over to fight O.
Speaker 3: That's yeah, one percent, it's just you know, but once again,
Speaker 3: it's like back to that point, we've lost our sense
Speaker 3: of real like community, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So divided everybody. It's like, dude, if we don't agree
Speaker 1: on this one thing. It doesn't mean that we can't
Speaker 1: agree on this or we can't have beer.
Speaker 3: You can't you know, man, or just say, hey man,
Speaker 3: we just don't agree about that. Let's talk about something
Speaker 3: we do agree with.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we could. I wish we would just focus a
Speaker 2: little more to on the things that we do agree about.
Speaker 2: We can make so much more progress.
Speaker 3: All right, let's quit arguing about the stuff we don't
Speaker 3: agree about for a few minutes, and the four or
Speaker 3: five things that we all agree about, let's go forward
Speaker 3: with that. But yeah, back to the addict talk. I
Speaker 3: say that because we look at them like, ah, they
Speaker 3: chose to get on drugs. Fucked them, you know what
Speaker 3: I mean. It's like, but like, nah, man, that's bootleg.
Speaker 3: Kev's son's mother, you know what I mean, Like this
Speaker 3: is so much more bigger than her.
Speaker 2: Let's think about her son, thinking about how it affected
Speaker 2: her mother, how it affected keV, how it affected Kev's wife.
Speaker 3: Kev's wife had to marry into a whole situation for Svins,
Speaker 3: an eleven year old young man, to be a mother.
Speaker 2: It's like this is you.
Speaker 3: Then you start seeing the the true impact the you know,
Speaker 3: the uh, the drug addict is is not the victim here,
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, that's not and I'm not
Speaker 3: saying that they're the the the aggressor neither what you know,
Speaker 3: the but saying that, you know, the victims of drug
Speaker 3: addiction are so much murther further we change that we
Speaker 3: state this the right way. The victims of drug addiction
Speaker 3: her so much more than just the just.
Speaker 1: The drug addict.
Speaker 2: It's the family drug addict is a victim of drug addiction.
Speaker 2: So it's like the victim of drug addiction is so
Speaker 2: much more than just the drug addict.
Speaker 1: How do you how do you because you know, with
Speaker 1: the last few years, man, I'm assuming like you need
Speaker 1: your wife more than ever now, right, how do you guys? Like,
Speaker 1: how is your guys' relationship evolved? Uh? With with the
Speaker 1: new success like that, like and her own success as
Speaker 1: a as an entity on her own, her podcast is massive.
Speaker 3: Funny's podcast is huge, Bunny's Patreon is huge, Bunny's TikTok
Speaker 3: is bigger than mine.
Speaker 1: But she's going crazy. I mean, she she really, I mean,
Speaker 1: correct me, I'm wrong, but she kind of broke the sky,
Speaker 1: the gray record. It was her TikTok, right, it was her. Sure.
Speaker 3: What's even cooler about that was I sent Bunny the
Speaker 3: album and said, if any of these songs touch you
Speaker 3: in any way that you want to post them and
Speaker 3: help me out, please, you know. I'm just like, I'm
Speaker 3: We're that kind of with each other, and buddies like,
Speaker 3: she's like, she's my Wife's like, I'm gonna post something.
Speaker 2: I got you, no problem. And then when she did that,
Speaker 2: I was like, oh, man, because you know, Bunny had
Speaker 2: never shared that side of her story a lot, and
Speaker 2: I won't either because that's her story to too, of course,
Speaker 2: but I wrote that thinking about her and she knew that.
Speaker 2: So for her to like be like, you know what, man,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna stand on this now. For all we know
Speaker 2: about Bunny. When her book comes out, we're gonna find
Speaker 2: out that we don't know about Bunny, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean.
Speaker 3: She's like, Bunny's been through a lot more than even
Speaker 3: she tells, so her connecting with the song. But dude,
Speaker 3: we see each other less, but we are communicate more.
Speaker 3: And that's kind of the rule, is that if you're
Speaker 3: not gonna be able to see each other and spend
Speaker 3: time together, we got to fill in the communication blank.
Speaker 3: So every night we'll talk for hours if we're on
Speaker 3: the phone. If we're not together and just catch up.
Speaker 3: We still prioritize making time for each other. It's just
Speaker 3: important things to do.
Speaker 1: Man, any new brand deals on the way, Hey dude,
Speaker 1: do you see my hate dude shoe?
Speaker 2: I did not or that with these.
Speaker 1: These are the hate dudes.
Speaker 3: This one was a piss dirty one because I'm wearing it.
Speaker 3: Everyone was great, but dude, I'm sure, hey, dou won't
Speaker 3: mind me, but you don't worry. On the inside it
Speaker 3: says made for the beautifully broken. I mean, these are
Speaker 3: just cool. I love Hey dudes, we wear them anyways
Speaker 3: or it's just insanely comfortable, and uh, we did a
Speaker 3: deal with them, but I'm sure they won't mind me
Speaker 3: saying that we're we It wasn't a one off.
Speaker 2: We got like we're doing a big deal with day Dude.
Speaker 3: Like everybody who's like, we only did a very limited
Speaker 3: drop for the album. Maybe too limited in hindsight, because
Speaker 3: I've seen a lot of people that were upset, and
Speaker 3: I don't like to upset people. Like I'm not trying
Speaker 3: to be a rare drop artist. You know, I'm for
Speaker 3: everybody all the time is how I always want to be.
Speaker 3: But we maybe slightly under anticipated what the demand could
Speaker 3: be too. But we also wasn't worried about it because hey,
Speaker 3: dude and I know that we're in this for the
Speaker 3: long haul, like we've got we've got a future together.
Speaker 3: We're we got we got year's worth of plans together
Speaker 3: already in motion of drops every year.
Speaker 2: So don't worry.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be good, man, it's probably. I mean, I
Speaker 3: got a lot, you know. The Dunkin donut commercial was cool.
Speaker 3: I don't have a Dunkin.
Speaker 1: Deals tak a donut shit, it's crazy. Well, I feel
Speaker 1: like they need to give you your own item on
